Kind'a yea.

You can run it one one port, you can change paths on a per-interface
basis, and you can enable/disable transmit for each one
individually, but here are the potential problems:

*) Xastir won't know which port it came in on.

*) You won't be able to change timing on a per-port basis.

For a MKISS setup you end up telling Xastir on a per-interface basis
which TNC port number to transmit on.

Others can better answer that.
